Russians are way less instructed than an average HN woke-toke. I just don't see how Russian influence could have moved the needle in any measurable fashion without a large number of boots on the ground. The report can be factually corr

My argumentation is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and I've never seen any. It is unlikely that 150-pages journalistic bias piece will contain anything nearly sufficient. On the other hand, US&UK NGOs med

You are firewalled from any repercussions of these attacks. At the same time you believe that citizens of other, less privileged countries, should bear full responsibility for the attacks of their government or its allies. At least, you act

What was the combined budget of Cambridge Analytica? If it was any less than 1B GBP, you cannot be in a good faith suggest that it played more than a token role in either Brexit or Trump.

The magnitude cannot be nearly as much as to be sufficient. It is two orders of magnitude less than needed to conjure Brexit out of blue and then win it. Such a feat can only be done by inside parties. Otherwise, everybody meddles in everyb

Come on, you can't be serious about that. Yeah, I'm aware what pops out when you type "Timeline" in Wikipedia's search.

They (EU countries) allowed Turkey to court them for a long time and get expensive treats then bailed out of it by ghosting Turkey. Do they have to admit Turkey? Hell no. Is it a sign of a good personality? Also no.

Try getting your git bisect working with merge or non-squash workflow. I don't care how the other developers came up with the solution, I want their changeset neatly tagged in the commit with ticket reference.

The issue with communism/nazism is that they depend on years or decades of political conditioning of populace, so they're even more afraid of accepting new people than they are of the existing ones leaving. Moving in to USSR was e

You will realistically never jack up price anywhere far when competing against AliExpress. You can sell some of these exclusive widgets for $4 instead of $1 but getting leads would cost you these $3.

There would be insufficient supply on the market then. How is that better? I've heard they show an apartment to 20 competing prospective tenants at once in Switzerland. I can't begin to imagine how much 20 wasted work hours cost t

I believe this video is a part of psyops since it talks about a real phenomenon then diverts into irrelevant bushes. P. S. Half way towards the end they admit of it. Still, wasted my half an hour.

Is this a rigorous study with control group and large selection? Otherwise it looks like an option not considered seriously. I'm not going to medicate daily for the rest of my life to "decrease or slow by about a half". The p

I have a friend whose mother was a pilot (great vision) and he also has good vision (at least he used to, back then). I don't think he spent more time outdoors than I did or stared at screens less than myself. He is not any less geeky

They have so many different recommendations they could do a "bullshit recommendation of the day". Tell you to do something every day for the rest of your life. If it does not work, scold you for slacking off. If your vision does n

You don't know how it works until you know how to fix it. Until you have a fix you are going to suffer these terrible discussions, after all is it more terriblier than having actual myopia?

I wonder how many more studies would it take them to do something about this, finally . All the science since I was born seems to be all study, no fix.

It would not be very interesting. You will lose all the interesting properties of analog computer and it would be a poorly performing turing machine. Still it would have those loops and branches necessary, since you can always build digital

Sure, you cannot easily simulate another analog computer, but this is not the requirement. The requirement is turing completeness, which can be done.

Korean language is highly flexive and position dependent, like Classical Latin. If anything, dyslexia will manifest more severly in Korean than in English since there's more free variables to mess up.

I wonder why you can't make a turing complete analog computer using feedback loops.

All of the DIY monopoly stuff which tech giants has invented will fall apart once one large country starts poking holes in it. It doesn't even has to be US (variant: specific states). From right to repair to app store monopolies, they

No Russian Army because he was born around 1914. Otherwise, of course you would find a lot of people with -enko last name in Russian Army in WWI. Not only Russian Empire controlled most of present-day Ukraine but also parts of Poland.

I believe he's not Petrov but Petro after all (out of options listed in the article) You are unlikely to have no first name and two last names, and Zailenko looks like a last name, so the other one is likely a first name, which would
